The hardest task before the Kansas
City convention is the formation of a
platform which will be acceptable to
both the Gold Democrats and the Silver
Republicans. It must be built on the
plan of the negro's trap which was war
ranted to catch a coon "a-comln' and
a-goin'."
When the amount of liquid refresh
ments taken on board the Tammany
train, before the start for Kansas City
made, is taken into consideration.
It would not be surprising if Kansas
City should feel that the Tiger is not
bringing to the convention town a thirst
of te sixe which it had reason to ex
pect. Philadelphia may be slow In some
things, but not on the matter of knock
ing on the census enumeration. As an
evidence of thi3 the following is taken
from the North American:
Census statistics gathered by incom
petent and indifferent persons are worse
than useless; they are mischievously
misleading. The census was taken in
Philadelphia by men of that sort, and it
is a farce in its results. Philadelphia
is credited with from 100,000 to 150.000
less population than she actually has,
and If such a false count is allowed to
stand as the census of the city, she will
lose her rightful place among the great
cities of the country.
Chicago News: The famous Trans
Missouri Freight association decision of
the supreme court was said to have
thrown the railroads back into a "com
petitive" state. But a railroad passen
ger association has decreed that any
road running a train between New Tork
and Chicago in less than 2S hours must
charge $4 above the regular fare. That
does not look like competition. An as
sociation sufficiently powerful to compel
the rich and enterprising roads to fore
go the advantage of their enterprise is
hardly the shorn, crippled and decrepit
creature that its members have repre
sented it as being.
ROOSEVELT THANKS KANSAS.
Now that it Is all over Governor
Roosevelt is glad It happened. At least
that is what he told the people of Law
rence. In a speech at that place yester
day he said:
"My fellow citizens: I am doubly
glad to come here to Kansas, because it
was Kansas that had more to do than
anything with my being nominated for
vice president."
It will be remembered that the gov
ernor made a hard fight against the
nomination which finally overpowered
him. It is not usual to receive thanks
for doing something to a person to
which he strongly objects.
OWE WAT TO MAKE CRIMINALS
In this city on Wednesday James
Kelly, 14 years of age, and William Col
lier, 15 years, were arrested and ar
raigned before Magistrate Thornton.The
crime with which they were charged
was swimming in the Bchuylkill river,
near the Spring Garden street bridge.
There are no public bath houses in that
section, and the boys as boys will
take to the water to get clean and cool.
For this the Magistrate committed
them to jail for five days. It has been
shown that one of the easiest ways to
make criminals is to send boys to pris
on. The fact itself and the associations
of the jail often break, the spirit or cor
rupt the habits of boys who might oth
erwise grow up to be good citizens.
To send these two boys to Jail for go
ing in bathing on the hottest day of the
year, when the city did not furnish
bathing houses, was a wretched piece of
business. Philadelphia North Ameri

consideration of the police authorities of
the capital of Kansas.

An Atchison woman, who three days

woman in town, has not one friend left:
instead of sympathizing with her
friends, as she has heretofore, she began
telling them her troubles.
Occasionally the women go around to
the saloons, and warn the keepers not
to sell their husbands any beer. A man

dry goods stores and warning the pro

Thin people do a good deal more

Several hundred miners are now en
gaged on the beach.
Speaking of the beach line. Captain
Enefson states that the squateers are
still occupying the government ground
but that there is no doubt that they
are entirely wrong. The authorities and
everybody, else are awaiting the arrival
of General Randall to settle all disputes.
The expectation is that the beach line
will be cleared of squatters by force
if necessary. Town lots are bringing
all the way from $5,000 to $10,000 and
unusually excellent sites are sold for
more. There is a great demand for
realty. Captain Enefson states that but
little news has been received from he
creek district at the time he left. The
frost is still in the ground and active
work had hardly commenced. W. F.

A PLAN THAT FAILED.
From the Detroit Free Press.
"My wife Is naad and I don't blame her,
and I'll tell you why," said Jones yester
day. "We have kept house for twenty
years, and I figure that during that time
we have had at least eighty hired girls,
good, bad and indifferent, but mostly bad.
Several years ago Mrs. Jones was fortun
ates enough to secure a jewel of a girl:
but she was indiscreet enough to brag
about it around the neighborhood, with
the result that one of the neighbors en
ticed her away, under promise of paying
her higher wages, and my wife has not
forgiven the woman that did It to this
day. Ever since she has had a dream that
some day she would be lucky enough to
draw another prize in the hired girl mar
ket, and when she did she had her plans
all laid to keep her.
"Well, the other day the jewel was se
cured, and Mrs. Jones simply hugged her
self with delight when she realized what
n treasure she possessed. .
"The girl had only been with us one
week when Mrs. Blank, one of our neigh
bors, called and casually remarked that
she saw that we had ajiother girl.
" 'Yes.' answered Mrs. Jones with a
sigh. 'I'm only going to keep her till I
can get another. She is simply unbear
able! She is insolent, lazy, slovenly, im
pudent and doesn't know enough to start
the kettle boiling. She'
" 'You're a loir, mum!' burst upon her
astonished ears, and there stood thenew
girl in the doorway with her Irish up. 'An'
I'll have ye understand, mum, thot I'll not
stay another minutes in a house where
they blackguard a poor, hard-workin'
gurrel's character!' and with that she flew
to her room and packed up.
"Mrs. Blank has the girl now, and she
never loses a chance to tell what a treas
ure she has and how Mrs. Jones abuses
her girls, which makes my wife simply
wild."
A GREAT CROWD
Hears Got. Roosevelt Today at
Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City, July 3. Five thou
sand people packed the grand! Lttnd
to hear Gov. Roosevelt today. The pro
ceedings were greatly delayed on ac
count of the reported dangerous con
dition of the temporary wooden stand
from which the governor spoke and
much confusion resulted. Finally the
governor himself took a. hand in the
direction of affairs and order speedily
resulted. Colonel Roosevelt's voice was
clearly heard by the throng. His ad
dress was punctuated throughout by
applause and by answers to his rhetor
ical questions. The speech was along
the line of those delivered during the
trip through Kansas yesterday except
that he did not touch upon the silver
question.
After devoting much time to a grace
ful tribute to the Rough Riders and
veterans of the Spanish war and also to
the members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and the Confederate veterans
present, he launched into the subject of
the nation's duty in her newly acquired
territory.
'I appeal to the great people of the
west," he said, "I appeal to the men
who fought in the civil war and to their
sons who came forward when the nation
again called whatever their party to
see to it that the nation does not shirk
its work; that the flag which
has so far borne us to honor
shall be upheld forever more
as the flag of the greatest, mightiest na
tion of mankind; that tho nation shirks
from no duty where duty calls. Wherever
the flag is as long as there is an armed
foe against it there the Hag shall stay."
(Applause.)
During the afternoon Colonel Roosevelt
witnessed a roping and riding tournament,
a mule race, an exhibition of roping and
tieing thirty wild stears, and many other
sports Incident to life on the western
plains.
A deplorable Incident of today'3 lestivl
ties was a fatal accident to Clifton

his skull was fractured.
JAPAN SENDS HELP.
Famous Battleship Goes to Assistance
ol the Oregon.
Washington. July 23. Secretary Long
this morning received the following cable
gram rrom Lieutenant Ivey, naval at
tache at the United States legation at To-
kio, Japan, in regard to the docking of
the uregon:
"Toklo. July 3. 1900.
"Secretary of the Navy. Washington:
"Port Arthur too small. If Oregon can
not dock at Nagasaki, Japanese navy de
partment tenders the use of either Kure
or Yokoksuka docks. Offers any assist
ance desired. Has ordered Akitisushima
from Che Foo to the Oregon. Have cabled
Wilde offer of docks. KEY."
The naval officials are disappointed at
the statement that the Oregon can not
dock at Port Arthur, as that place is only
about sixty miles from where she struck.
Nagasaki is wK) miles distant. Dut can be
reached by the Oregon without venturing
far outside of the smooth waters or fe
Chi Li. The Japanese vessel Akitisus-
himt, which Lieutenant Key reported as
eoine to the help of the Oregon, is the
famous cruiser which covered herself with
renown at the battle of Yalu.
OYERLOADED TRAINS.
Kansas City Traffic Tomorrow Prom
ises to Be Heavy.
The railroads running into Kansas
City expect to haul heavier trains to
morrow than ever before in their his

requests for additional equipment at
many stations, and the people will be
compelled as a result to fight for seat
ing and standing place on the regular
trains. '
The trains eastbound today have been
crowded, and specials will be run from
several points tonight and tomorrow
morning.
